This is not about Mr Easy because I think the guy is okay , hardworking on his own and not a broke guy … but what I’ve noticed is that , men that marry for money are always subjected to obedience, not like defiance is good but , if your wife is richer than you, foot the bills and literally the source of your income, you can’t go against her wish , not for once if not , you will suffer for it and be punished.. so , men that married for money are always loyal and a slave to their marriage . That is the price that they pay for being such in the first place; grandiose , respectable and rich outside, a slave inside because the rich wife is just using them to cover her own shame of being labeled as an unmarried and unlovable woman . Those men go through a lot , and considering our Naija guys that always go abroad, most of them na one chance - the moment they reach there , it’s like a kidnap, all your life dey the oyinbo hand , the only benefit is that you Dey abroad , you can’t help your family, if your papa or mama die, dem fit no allow you come home , you Dey find better life but now you are a slave inside oyinbo parlor , that’s the reality and if you move , dem go blow your head off with gun or you can run away and become an outcast and wanted fugitive in a strange land 😀😀… I’ve seen it |

Solofresh2:Funny, i did not really see this before. How does a person marry for money and yet he's not a gold digger? |
| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Dtruthspeaker: 2:11pm On Sep 19 |
deetin:Exactly my point except that I am adding that whether you marry for money or love, the guy go see whuehn! Especially as richer girls hate to marry downwards. It is an abomination to them. |

Dtruthspeaker:Good question. Let me break it down. A gold digger is someone who pursues a relationship purely for money, with no intention of giving anything back. They take, take, take, and leave when the money stops.A man who marries for money might do it for security, stability, or strategy not just greed. He might come from poverty and want a better life for himself and his future children.Have a business idea but no capital, and sees marriage as a partnership.Be tired of struggling and wants peace of mind.Love her and her money.It's not always either/or. Gold digger: "I'm here for your money. Nothing else." Man who marries for money: "I'm here for the security. But I'll be loyal, faithful, and present. I'll give you a peaceful home. I'll protect you. I'll build with you." It's still transactional. But it's not onesided. Not every man who marries for money is a gold digger. Some are strategists. Some are survivors. Some are just honest about what they value. The gold digger takes. The strategist trades. |

femi4:You're right. It's rare. But 'rare' doesn't mean 'never.' Most men marry down because they're the providers. They choose women who are younger, less established, and more dependent. That's the traditional script.But some men marry up. Not many. Not often. But they exist. And when they do, they're called gold diggers, gigolos, or losers unless they're smart about it.The thread isn't saying it's common. The thread is asking, for the men who did it, how did it go? Did it work? Did love grow? Or did they regret it? Rare stories are still worth telling. That's the point. Just because something is rare doesn't mean it doesn't happen. The men who did it are out there. They're just quiet. This thread is for them |

Solofresh2:I didn't say "women can't drive because they drive short distances." I said "Women can't drive was a fact in the 80's and they have lower accidents because they still are not driving and are driving like learners and driving only short distances Then, you are asking me to prove something that was you who pointed it out. Then, you are now citing foreign people wey we no know all the way for America and Europe that already have different and weird cultures from us here as a point. This is the definition of kicking the ball into throwing. A clear proof you have no case |

How many men married white women for money? How many men married indigenous women for money? The last one is almost non existence, in a society where the women are always broke and hungry, that the men always have to bail them out. The population is so small, that they are most likely not on Nairaland. |
| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Solofresh2(op): 2:33pm On Sep 19 |
Dtruthspeaker:You just moved the goalpost three times. 1. You said women can't drive. I said that's a stereotype. You said it was 'a fact in the 80s.' Then you said they drive short distances. Then you said their lower accident rates prove it. That's circular. You still haven't proven your point. 2. You asked me to name a rich woman who married down without being ugly, rejected, or damaged. I named five. You didn't refute them. You dismissed them because they're foreign. 3. Now you're saying foreign examples don't count because their culture is different. But your original claim wasn't about culture. It was about women. You said 'no rich woman would ever marry down unless...' You didn't say 'no Nigerian rich woman.' You said 'rich women.' If your claim was about Nigerian women, say that. But don't move the goalpost when you're proven wrong and for the record, Nigerian examples exist too. Stella Damasus married Daniel Ademinokan when she was more famous and established. Toke Makinwa was more successful than her ex-husband when they married. Tiwa Savage was already a star when she married TeeBillz, who was her manager, not a billionaire. You said 'no rich woman.' I gave you examples. You dismissed them. That's not debate. That's denial. You don't have a case. You have a rulebook you made up, and you're angry that reality doesn't follow it. Your stereotypes aren't facts. They're comfort blankets. And they're falling apart. |

Jayboiii:So instead of answering the question, you're making jokes about sex. That tells me everything I need to know. You have no story. No experience. No insight. Just jokes to avoid the topic. If you married for money and you're suffering, say it. If you married for money and it worked, say that too. But don't come here cracking jokes to cover your emptiness. This thread is for men who've lived it. Not for spectators who can't contribute |

Solofresh2:Cite where I said anything about scandal, public meltdown etc. Of which did you not hear that Frederick and Ovie had a public scandal and have divorced? And, of course i am filling in the gaps NOT ADDING AND TESTIFYING AS IF YOU ARE THE CHEF WHO SHARED THE FOOD MR EAZI SHOWED. |
| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Dtruthspeaker: 2:43pm On Sep 19 |
Solofresh2:It is clear you love self deceits. What can a poor guy ever give a rich girl that she does not already over have that you now think that if you add an intention to give her back then therefore, you are not a gold digger? You are just deceiving yourself |

| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Dtruthspeaker: 2:54pm On Sep 19 |
Solofresh2:You are the one moving post now that you real eyes your error of trying to raise the foreign marriages of foreigners to defend your case which did not work and so now you are calling examples which fall into the conditions i said, Stella, Toke, Tiwa all are burnt products and of course they do not fall into the definition of richer daughters for all of them were grown up b****ies who are marriageable only by their fellow counterpart bad boys as was done. So, you still got nothing. And everything you and I said and responded to is already clearly stamped on the thread, so ... |
| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Solofresh2(op): 2:54pm On Sep 19 |
Dtruthspeaker:You're right. You didn't use the words 'scandal' or 'public meltdown.' My mistake. Let me correct that. What you did was list marriages and imply they failed or are failing. You said 'same thing is playing out.' You said 'we can fill in the gap.' That's speculation. Different words. Same meaning. Now to your points. 1. 'Frederick and Ovie had a public scandal and divorced.'If that's true, then that's one marriage. One. Out of the five you listed. But here's the thing I don't know if that's true. And neither do you, unless you have inside information. You're reading headlines.You're filling gaps. That's my point. 2. 'I am filling in the gaps.'You admitted it. You're guessing. You're assuming. You're not testifying. You're speculating. That's exactly what I said. 3. 'Not adding and testifying as if you are the chef.'I never claimed to be the chef. I never said I know Mr Eazi's private life. I said nobody knows ,including you. That's the difference. I'm saying we don't know. You're saying you do. You admitted you're filling gaps. That means you don't know. And if you don't know, you can't say 'none worked.' You can't say 'they all failed.' You can only say 'I'm guessing.' This thread is for men who actually lived it. Not for spectators who fill gaps with assumptions. |

| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Dtruthspeaker: 3:00pm On Sep 19 |
Solofresh2:Filling the gaps is not the same as "ADDING AND TESTIFYING AS IF YOU ARE THE CHEF/COOK WHO SHARED THE FOOD MR EAZI SHOWED! And you yourself even confessed that they would not talk yet, you say the thread is for them. Anyway, it has entered front page and you can see everyone is telling you that you are wrong |
| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Solofresh2(op): 3:03pm On Sep 19 |
Dtruthspeaker:You just called Stella Damasus, Toke Makinwa, and Tiwa Savage 'burnt products' and 'grown up promiscuous' That's not an argument. That's misogyny. And it reveals everything about you.You said 'no rich woman would ever marry down unless she's ugly, rejected, or damaged.'I gave you five foreign examples. You dismissed them as foreign.I gave you three Nigerian examples. You dismissed them as 'burnt products.' Every woman who proves you wrong is either foreign or damaged. That's not a standard. That's a loophole. You'll dismiss any example that contradicts you. 2. Your original claim wasn't about virgins. It wasn't about 'unburnt products.' It was about rich women marrying down. You didn't say 'no rich virgin would marry down.' You said 'no rich woman.' Stella, Toke, and Tiwa are rich women who married down. They prove you wrong. You dismissed them because they have pasts. That's not refutation. That's cope. 3. 'Everything is stamped on the thread.' Yes. It is. Everyone can see you started with a rule, got proven wrong, and changed the rule. That's not a debate win. That's a retreat. You don't have a case. You have a moving target. Every woman who proves you wrong gets dismissed as foreign, ugly, rejected, damaged, or 'burnt.' That's not logic. That's a comfort blanket. The thread speaks for itself. And it says you lost. |
| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Solofresh2(op): 3:09pm On Sep 19 |
Dtruthspeaker:You're asking what a poor man can give a rich woman. Let me answer. 1. Peace. A rich woman deals with pressure, fake friends, family expectations, and men who want her for her money. A man who gives her peace,no drama, no stress, no games,gives her something money can't buy. 2. Loyalty. Rich women are surrounded by people who want something. A man who stays loyal, who doesn't cheat, who doesn't embarrass her publicly,that's rare. That's valuable. 3. Protection. Not physical only. Emotional. Social. A man who shields her from nonsense, who handles things, who makes her feel safe ,that's not nothing. 4. Children and legacy. If she wants a family, he gives her that. He gives her a name, a home, a future. Money can't buy a good father. 5. Presence. Time. Attention. Effort. A rich woman can buy anything except genuine connection. A man who gives her that is not a gold digger. He's a partner. A gold digger gives nothing. He takes her money, her resources, her lifestyle and offers nothing in return. He's a parasite. A man who marries for money but gives back is not a gold digger. He's a strategist. He's trading what he has,loyalty, protection, peace, presence for what she has. That's a transaction. Both sides benefit. That's not deception. That's a deal. You think it's deception because you assume rich women are stupid. They're not. They know what they're getting. They know why he's there. And if he delivers, they stay. You're not exposing self-deception. You're exposing your own narrow view of what men can offer. Money isn't the only currency. Peace, loyalty, and presence are worth more than naira to a woman who already has everything else |

Solofresh2:And those are things that you have not already first taken from her? Please |
| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Solofresh2(op): 3:16pm On Sep 19 |
Dtruthspeaker:You're still not answering the actual question. 1.'Filling gaps is not the same as adding and testifying.' You're right. It's not the same. Filling gaps is worse. Testifying is saying "I know." Filling gaps is saying "I don't know, but I'll pretend I do." That's what you're doing. You don't know Mr Eazi's marriage. You don't know Temi's private life. You're guessing. And you're presenting your guesses as facts. 2. 'You confessed they would not talk yet you say the thread is for them.' Yes. I said men who married for money and regret it won't talk. That's why the thread is quiet. But that doesn't mean the thread is wrong. It means the truth is buried. Some men might still speak. Some might DM. Some might read and feel seen. The thread exists for the ones who will eventually speak not just the ones who speak today. 3. 'It has entered front page and everyone is telling you that you are wrong.' Front page doesn't mean I'm wrong. It means the thread is controversial. It means people are engaging. It means the topic hit a nerve. If everyone agreed with me, it wouldn't be on the front page. Controversy doesn't equal defeat. It equals relevance. You keep saying I'm wrong, but you haven't proven it. You're filling gaps. You're guessing. You're quoting front page as if it's a verdict. Front page is not a judge. It's a spotlight. And the spotlight is on you not me. |

| Re: Men Who Married For Money, Not Love-how Did It Go? by Solofresh2(op): 3:20pm On Sep 19 |
Dtruthspeaker:You're asking if peace, loyalty, protection, children, and presence are things I 'take from her first.' No. Those are things I give. Not take. Peace — I create it. I don't take it. Loyalty — I give it. I don't demand it first. Protection — I provide it. I don't extract it. Children — We build together. It's mutual. Presence — I show up. I don't disappear. What does a gold digger give? Nothing. He takes her money, her lifestyle, her resources and offers excuses. What does a strategist give? Himself. His time. His loyalty. His protection. His presence. And in return, he receives security, stability, and a better life. That's not taking. That's trading. You keep asking what a poor man can give a rich woman. The answer is everything she can't buy. Peace. Loyalty. A real partner. A good father. A safe home. If you think those things are worthless, that says more about you than it does about me |
